Editing

Check the 'Source' instruction to be sure that you are looking at the correct source(s) of information on the resource
If data on the resource and data as the element in the record are:
- PoR/PaE–check the Data Entry instructions:
  - data for this element must be Form transcribed, but 1.7 and order: make sure the data matches word-for-word and letter-for-letter (except for order or exceptions), e.g., fix common exceptions and decide whether to fix order
- PoR/AaE–check the Core instructions:
  - data for this element is Core:
    - if the data has been given as a wrong element, move it to the correct element
    - if the data is completely missing, add the data for this element
- AoR/PaE–check the Source instructions again:
  - since the Source for this element is or includes '[OSoI]', accept the data if it is 'supplied' (e.g., in square brackets, or explained in a note), as long as it seems applicable; indicate that the data is 'supplied' (with square brackets or a note 2.2.4), if that has not been done
- AoR/AaE–go to the next element:
  - but be sure to check the resource carefully, if the data for the element is Core, or if the data is important for differentiating the resource from a similar resource

Editing Notes:

enter a term like 'Abridged' or 'Condensed' or 'Corrected and updated' as a Designation of Edition instead of a note, even if 'edition', 'issue', 'release', 'level', 'state', or 'update' wording is not present (see 2.5.2.1)

RDA:

Check the resource any time you see an abbreviation here, in an RDA record, since people will forget about this change until they get used to it.
